The famous reality TV show 'Sister Wives' is using their show to not only educate America about their religious lifestyle, but to help fight to let it be legal once again.

The author states that Mormons just want to freely practice their faith and be left alone about it without legal consequences.

I watched the first season of Sister Wives on Netflix, and, without voicing my personal opinions on the subject, I was really surprised that people are still practicing polygamy.

Several states are considering passing laws like a bill that was recently passed in Tennessee outlawing parts of Islamic Shariah law.

In California, protesters are fighting to repeal the nation's first law requiring public schools to include prominent gay people and gay rights' milestones in school lessons. Some fear that it would expose young children to "inappropriate" sexual themes, however modern 20th century history often isn't taught until junior year of high school. Proponents of the referendum explain that social studies education covers broad spectrum topics and that those who develop the curriculum would be unlikely to "include the sexual orientation of historical figures unless it is relevant."

Music has always had the power to strike fear into parents' hearts, which is why it is so attractive to young people. This hasn't changed since the days when the Beatles shocked the world.

The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.

No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.

the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.

Years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and two years after Edward Snowden's revelations about extensive U.S. government surveillance of phone and internet data, Americans have mixed and conflicting views about government surveillance programs.

Terrorism certainly created more fear in the west and Americans wanted to feel more safe. Even if it means sacrificing some personal freedoms so that the government catches the crimes before they happen. Recently, it's been seen that it has gotten out of control more than anticipated.
